Counterbalance Forklift Training Course

Counterbalance forklifts are suitable for various environments, including warehouses, manufacturing plants, and outdoor yards. Their ability to handle heavy loads and navigate tight spaces makes them indispensable for tasks such as loading and unloading goods, transporting materials, and stacking pallets. ​

With options for electric, gas, or diesel engines, these forklifts offer flexibility to meet different operational needs and preferences.

Train on your site, with your machine

Our Counterbalance Forklift Training Course is conducted on-site using your own equipment, ensuring that your team trains in their familiar working environment. 

The course complies with ITSSAR standards and is tailored to your specific workplace requirements. 

Delegates will acquire the knowledge and practical skills necessary to operate a counterbalance forklift safely and efficiently.​

The session begins with a health and safety briefing and safety video before progressing to practical training, which benefits from having empty pallets available for practice.​

We offer four course options depending on experience:

• Novice Course – 3 days (for 1 delegate) or 4 days (for 2–5 delegates)​
• Experienced Operator Course – 2 days​
• Refresher Course – 1 day
• Conversion Course – 2 days (for those already certified on a different type of forklift)​

Successful delegates will receive a forklift truck certificate as proof of their training. 

Whether you're looking to upskill your team or ensure compliance with health and safety regulations, Wight Training Services is here to assist.
